David Anderson 5cb7d91aaa Revise documentation (#969)
* Revise documentation

- Add missing reference to `flask-graphql` in integrations
- align documentation for resolver arguments (use root for 1st argument
instead of self)
- explore use of `parent` instead of `root` for first argument
- clarify resolvers and object type documentation
- add documentation for Meta class options for ObjectType
- expand quickstart documentation for first time users
- streamline order of documentation for first time users (broad ->
specific)
- document resolver quirks

* explict imports from graphene

* rename doc refs for resolvers

* suggestions typos and graphene import

.. _SchemaExecute:
Executing a query
=================
For executing a query a schema, you can directly call the ``execute`` method on it.
.. code:: python
from graphene import Schema
schema = Schema(...)
result = schema.execute('{ name }')
``result`` represents the result of execution. ``result.data`` is the result of executing the query, ``result.errors`` is ``None`` if no errors occurred, and is a non-empty list if an error occurred.
.. _SchemaExecuteContext:
Context
_______
You can pass context to a query via ``context``.
.. code:: python
from graphene import ObjectType, String, Schema
class Query(ObjectType):
name = String()
def resolve_name(root, info):
return info.context.get('name')
schema = Schema(Query)
result = schema.execute('{ name }', context={'name': 'Syrus'})
assert result.data['name'] == 'Syrus'
Variables
_________
You can pass variables to a query via ``variables``.
.. code:: python
from graphene import ObjectType, Field, ID, Schema
class Query(ObjectType):
user = Field(User, id=ID(required=True))
def resolve_user(root, info, id):
return get_user_by_id(id)
schema = Schema(Query)
result = schema.execute(
'''
query getUser($id: ID) {
user(id: $id) {
id
firstName
lastName
}
}
''',
variables={'id': 12},
)
Root Value
__________
Value used for :ref:`ResolverParamParent` in root queries and mutations can be overridden using ``root`` parameter.
.. code:: python
from graphene import ObjectType, Field, Schema
class Query(ObjectType):
me = Field(User)
def resolve_user(root, info):
return {'id': root.id, 'firstName': root.name}
schema = Schema(Query)
user_root = User(id=12, name='bob'}
result = schema.execute(
'''
query getUser {
user {
id
firstName
lastName
}
}
''',
root=user_root
)
assert result.data['user']['id'] == user_root.id
Operation Name
______________
If there are multiple operations defined in a query string, ``operation_name`` should be used to indicate which should be executed.
.. code:: python
from graphene import ObjectType, Field, Schema
class Query(ObjectType):
me = Field(User)
def resolve_user(root, info):
return get_user_by_id(12)
schema = Schema(Query)
query_string = '''
query getUserWithFirstName {
user {
id
firstName
lastName
}
}
query getUserWithFullName {
user {
id
fullName
}
}
'''
result = schema.execute(
query_string,
operation_name='getUserWithFullName'
)
assert result.data['user']['fullName']
